Hi guys,
I've been offered a trade, I'd like to have your opinion...

What do you think about this 1981 MIJ Yamaha SBG-500 (US name, sold as SG-800S in the rest of the world), near mint with case:

+ 200? (= 160? = 250$) cash

... for this ObG (with gigbag):

... which has a repaired headstock though:

... ?

And, since I'm no Orville expert (basically I know that some were made by Fujigen and some by Terada, and that the ObG ones have USA pickups, and that's it :oops: ), any info on this particular one is more than welcome...

Thanks! :D
 
Keep the SG. The ObG is a veneer top, and has a headstock repair. I would think that you could do better.

Your mileage may vary..
 
Thanks for the replies!

... Needless to say I'm gonna keep the SG... :wink:
